Kyiv supports the establishment of a training and practical centre for the installation of transparent structures

Mykhailo Orlenko, Executive Director of the Association “Ukrainian Producers of Transparent Structures”, reported that the city of Kyiv allocated around UAH 2 million from the local budget for the creation of the first training and practical centre in Ukraine for window and door installation. The centre is being established in cooperation with the Kyiv Vocational College of Civil Engineering.

These funds are planned to be used for equipping the training area with a modern ventilation system with heat recovery. This will improve the quality of the educational process and meet current construction standards, which is essential for training window and door installation specialists.

The total budget of the project currently amounts to approximately UAH 9 million:

• from the state – UAH 5.05 million within the framework of the “100 workshops” initiative aimed at establishing modern laboratories and practical spaces in vocational education institutions;
• the city of Kyiv – UAH 2 million;
• business partners – another UAH 2 million.

The training and practical centre is expected to be operational already this year.

Earlier, the Association “Ukrainian Producers of Transparent Structures”, in cooperation with the German institute ift Rosenheim and with the support of leading companies in the transparent structures sector, implemented another significant educational project: the publication of the “Guideline for planning and installation of windows and front doors for new builds and renovations” in Ukrainian.
